Remote | licensed chemical engineer & ai evaluation specialist — $60–$85/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for licensed US chemical engineers with professional experience in process design, process safety, plant operations, technical documentation, and industry-standard simulation tools. This role supports an AI research initiative focused on improving how advanced systems understand and reason about chemical engineering topics. Selected professionals will evaluate written and AI-generated content, answer technical questions, identify relevant reference materials, and provide practical insight into real-world chemical engineering workflows, standards, and professional decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

Chemical Engineering Content Evaluation

• Review written content and AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, relevance, and professional quality
• Assess whether calculations, analyses, recommendations, and conclusions reflect sound chemical engineering practice
• Identify incorrect assumptions, process-design errors, safety concerns, and technical inconsistencies
• Evaluate content within the candidate's strongest areas of chemical engineering expertise

Domain-Specific Analysis

• Answer chemical engineering questions using clear, well-reasoned technical explanations
• Apply professional judgment to process design, plant operations, process safety, and engineering documentation
• Assess whether responses account for operating conditions, material properties, equipment limitations, and safety requirements
• Provide corrections and supporting rationale where content requires improvement

Standards & Reference Review

• Review the application of process-safety standards and industry guidance, including OSHA PSM and relevant API standards
• Identify reliable technical references appropriate to assigned engineering topics
• Assess whether cited methods, standards, and assumptions suit the relevant process context
• Highlight safety, regulatory, operational, and procedural considerations affecting engineering decisions

Engineering Workflows & Tools

• Share insight into practical chemical engineering workflows, tools, and quality-control processes
• Evaluate content involving Aspen, MATLAB, process simulators, or comparable engineering software
• Review process documentation, standard operating procedures, calculations, and technical training materials
• Collaborate asynchronously with a small group of subject-matter experts across different fields

Ideal Profile

Strong candidates may have:

• At least 2 years of professional chemical engineering experience
• An active Professional Engineer licence in the United States
• Experience in process design, process safety, plant operations, or multiple chemical engineering areas
• Strong familiarity with process-safety standards, technical documentation, and engineering workflows
• Practical experience using Aspen, MATLAB, or comparable process-simulation and analytical tools
• Professional working proficiency in English
• Strong written communication, technical reasoning, and attention to detail
• Reliable availability for approximately 10 hours per week
• Based in the United States

Educational Background

A degree in chemical engineering from a recognised institution is required. An active US Professional Engineer licence is required. Advanced study or professional training in process engineering, process safety, plant operations, or a related area may strengthen an application. Continuing education involving engineering standards, simulation tools, safety systems, or process optimisation may also be valuable.

Nice to Have

• Experience across more than one chemical engineering area
• Background preparing process documentation, standard operating procedures, or technical training materials
• Familiarity with process hazard analysis, HAZOP, risk assessment, or management of change
• Experience reviewing or mentoring the work of junior engineers
• Knowledge of engineering quality assurance, peer review, or process validation
• Comfort using AI tools such as ChatGPT or comparable systems
• Previous experience with content evaluation, structured feedback, or AI training projects
• Experience supporting completed industrial, manufacturing, energy, pharmaceutical, or chemical-processing projects

Why This Opportunity

• Apply professional chemical engineering expertise to advanced AI research
• Help improve the accuracy and usefulness of AI-generated engineering content
• Share practical insight into real-world tools, standards, safety requirements, and workflows
• Contribute within the chemical engineering area most closely aligned with your experience
• Collaborate with subject-matter experts across multiple professional fields
• Participate in a flexible remote engagement with potential for continued work

Contract Details

Part-time W-2 contingent employment opportunity. Fully remote within the United States. Expected commitment of approximately 10 hours per week. Competitive rates between $60–$85 per hour depending on expertise and project scope. Work may include content evaluation, technical question answering, reference review, and structured feedback. Engagement scope and duration may evolve according to project requirements and performance.
